Meat cookie/4 recipes

I was looking for a recipe which would show off the colors of M&Ms. I exchanged the margarine for butter. At first bite, the cookie was a bit dry. Then the butter kicked in and it just melted in my mouth. What a flavor experience! I will definitely be making this cookie again!

Pad Thai Tip: For even more flavor, I'll often make a double batch of the pad Thai sauce. Then, as I'm stir-frying the noodles, I'll add more sauce until I'm happy with the taste (I also add extra fish sauce). Any leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
